Top 13 Sustainability Management Software

Sustainability software is diverse and varies from one vendor to another. It is safe to say that there is no standard and universal definition of sustainability software. There are however some common traits that we can observe. Ideally, sustainability software should:

Bring together all enterprise data that provide input to sustainability metrics used to measure a company’s sustainability performance. This implies that the sustainability software must have connections with external IT systems, such as ERPs or other, where the data resides. It also means that there must be good synchronization between the IT systems and the sustainability software to avoid any discrepancy in the information.

Be able to measure sustainability performance by comparing a company’s sustainability metrics against benchmarks that are specified by the industry, government organizations or other organizations. Alternatively the benchmarks can be defined by the company itself as sustainability goals to achieve. It should be noted that benchmarks can also come from multiple sources, in which case the sustainability software must allow a company to define the overall benchmarks in a flexible way.

Allow a company to identify easily and intuitively the areas that need improvement. Given the vast amount of data and information that is present, the opportunities for improvement may be to some people the only type of information consulted. In addition, it is useful if the potential costs of addressing the opportunities for improvement can be entered, to produce good cost/benefit assessments.

Be flexible enough to allow different views on the same data and information. For example, executives may only wish to see dashboards of major indicators, and the areas requiring improvements. Operations personnel may require a more granular access to the data, while managers may require something in-between, i.e. a dashboard of major indicators, but with contextual access to additional details and data.

Also be a communication platform allowing members of the organization to collaborate and work together to improve sustainability. The software should allow tasks to be assigned, follow-ups to be scheduled, messages to be sent, and so on. The sustainability software should also support the creation of reports or assessments, based on established templates, that can be communicated to external organizations, such as suppliers, customers, partners, government agencies, or other.

Not just measure a company’s sustainability performance, but also allow a company to assess the sustainability performance of those it does business with, such as suppliers, partners, contractors and outsourcers. This would allow a company to demonstrate that it is part of a supply chain committed to sustainability, and to show its efforts towards corporate social responsibility.
